It was about a year ago that Studio MDHR announced they were working with Netflix to bring The Cuphead Show! to our streaming screens. The animated adaptation would expand the world of Inkwell Isles, and feature visuals inspired by the same Fleischer Studios cartoons that the brothers used when creating the game.
Since that initial announcement, Netflix would go to say that The Cuphead Show! was “Coming Soon,” and while “Soon” still appears to be at some indeterminate point in the future, the streaming service did recently share a short look at the show on Twitter:
Fast & Furious: Spy Racers‘s Tru Valentino will voice Cuphead, while Frank Todaro (who was most recently credited as “Creature Sounds” in Dolittle) will voice Mugman. A quick montage of beautifully-animated scenes also introduces us to a handful of new characters, as well as King Dice, The Devil, and Elder Kettle.
The Cuphead Show! is still “Coming Soon,” and hopefully Netflix means it this time.
And don’t forget that The Delicious Last Course, an expansion for Cuphead, is still on track to launch for the PC, Switch, and Xbox One before the end of the year.
